[Xquartz-dev] Latest beta (XQuartz 2.7.2_beta4) crashes with Inkscape (stable and trunk)

[~suv]

Hi,

recently we got a bug report for Inkscape 0.48.2 on OS X 10.7.2 (X11
crashes when clicking on Inkscape's canvas area) which seems to be
triggered by changes in the latest XQuartz beta release for 2.7.2:

 Bug #972914 "[OS X] Crash when clicking inside drawing area"
 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/972914>

Inkscape's console message:

> inkscape-bin: Fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server /tmp/launch-JR8gbQ/org.macosforge.xquartz:0.

and from the X11.bin crash report:

> Thread 3 Crashed:

I have been able to reproduce the crash (temporarily upgraded to XQuartz
2.7.2 beta4 on OS X 10.7.2) with Inkscape 0.48.2 installed via
(up-to-date) MacPorts as well as current trunk builds (Inkscape
0.48+devel r11155) - to make sure it is not related to conflicts with
older library versions included in the official package (July 2011).

Reverting to stable XQuartz 2.7.1 solves the issue and Inkscape (stable
and trunk) works again as expected.

Any feedback on this (possibly known (?)) conflict with XQuartz 2.7.2
beta4 would be highly appreciated.


Thanks,
